Mme LeBrun, No. 36,
Great Suffolk-street. "In the year 1781,
Pacchierotti had been heard so frequently, that his singing was no impediment to conversation, or even to animated narrative
and debate; but while the elder
Vestris was on the stage, if during a pas seul, any of his admirers forgot themselves so much as to applaud him with their h
ands, there was an instant check put to his rapture by a choral hu-sh! For those lovers of music who talked the loudest when Pacchierotti was singing a pathetic air, or making an exquisite close, were now thrown into agonies of displeasure, lest the graceful movements du dieu de la dance, or the attention of his votaries, should be disturbed by audible approbation" (
Burney, II, 893)
